Ocean State Psychology

If you are looking for a psychologist these are some of the problems that might be troubling you or a loved one:

Ongoing worries and anxiety are draining the joy out of life.

You or a member of your family have been more irritable, short tempered and tense recently.

You have attempted to pull yourself out of the moods you’ve been experiencing but you continue to feel down and are increasingly discouraged.

Your child has been struggling emotionally and behaviorally and you would like to get a handle on the problem and help them be successful.

School problems have become a source of stress and conflict in your family.

My approach is to work with adults and children on identifying, understanding, and then developing strategies for treating symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other issues, and the problems in relationships, work, and school that usually accompany these issues.

My goal is to help you develop practical skills for making life changes, whether in yourself or in your child. Therapy is designed to build on strengths and competencies and to replace patterns of behavior that have become unsuccessful. By doing so you might derive benefits others have reported from therapy:

Increased confidence about the future.

Managing moods and feelings more effectively.

More resilience when facing stressful situations.

Increased self-esteem for you or family members.

More satisfying relationships with family members or others.

A better partnership with your child’s school.

These are some of the psychological interventions we might use to achieve your goals:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Relaxation skills and Hypnosis

Parent Management Training

Play Therapy

Family Therapy

Psychological Assessment
